Author Information

Richard Tavenner is a poet who, like William Blake, sees “ the universe in a grain of sand,” his grains being the natural world around him, including in his own garden; his family, his work as an electrician which as he practices it is a kind of community building service; his many friends over a decadeslong span of time; and language itself, including a history of poetry from the ancient Chinese to our own time of both difficulties and amazing discoveries. His lifelong work as represented in Work of a Poet is a revelation about practices in poetry that are still possible, and both reflect and point forward to a future of continued humanity, continued sharing of our resources, our visions, our love.
